Dolly Sheep Kids Bookshelf - Green

This kids bookshelf is shaped like a sheep, with two scalloped side panels for a woolly fleece, a small head at the front with lashes over closed eyes, and four short legs. Made from painted MDF in green, it holds books upright between the panels, leaning against two rails and resting on a low shelf, so a child can see what is there and pick a favourite. It measures 35cm wide, 30.5cm long and 30cm tall, a size that sits happily on the floor, a rug or a low bench. The maker gives a maximum load of 20KG, which is plenty for a row of picture books and board books.

It belongs in a nursery, a children's bedroom or a playroom, beside a reading chair or at the end of a bed, so a bedtime story is always within reach. Because it stands 30cm tall, a child can choose a book without help and return it when the story is finished. It also suits a family living room, keeping a few favourite titles tidy next to the sofa rather than scattered across the floor. A soft toy or doll can sit on the low shelf beside the books, and at 3KG it is light enough to carry between rooms as reading habits change.

The body is MDF with a painted finish, and the legs are MDF too, in a darker tone that matches the head. The materials are MDF and iron, and the screw heads show on the front panel. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth, which suits a piece in daily use. For styling, the green sits well beside woven baskets, pale wood and soft neutral textiles, and it looks its best placed side-on to a wall so the sheep's face greets whoever walks into the room. The styling props shown are not included.
